Hi,
I have a java program which I used to build with ant. Now I switched to maven
because of the easier handling of jar file dpenedencies. Unfortunately now these
jar files are no longer "there", they're somewhere in the repository but not
inside my project directory and it's not trivial to find and add them to the
classpath when I want to run my program.
Is there a simple solution, how do I set the classpath in the shell to run the
program?
There are a least two good solutions (and most probably even more) :
1) use the exec-maven-plugin and use the java goal which will run your
app in the maven vm, and is very useful during development
(http://mojo.codehaus.org/exec-maven-plugin)
2) a somewhat better solution is to use the appassembler plugin which
generates unix and windows scripts for you with all your classpaths
and more (http://mojo.codehaus.org/appassembler/appassembler-maven-plugin/)
Or how do I make maven copy the jar files from the repository to
somewhere I can use them?
the appassembler i mentioned above will do this for you, copying them
to your target directory for easy packaging with the assembler plugin
later
Thanks for your help, and best regards,
ute
